Hmmm... Generally it was interesting learning more about Will Smith's life and career. I knew him as actor and have watched a few of his well known films, but I've never cared about celebrity news/gossip much. Where this lost some points for me is totally personally - Will's beliefs and attitudes don't mesh with my own. As he's presented in his own words, he's selfish, stubborn, and made everyone in his life go along only with his own goals and wants. And then in the end, he's confused why Jada wants space and his kids don't trust him. Then he goes through a 180 transformation in the last 20 pages after I've just read 380 pages of him being a giant arse??? Please, give me a break. 😩 Also the writing wasn't that great. It felt too much like trying too hard to sound profound. None of his reflections or insights really strunk me deeply. There was nothing to take away for myself. 🤷🏾♀️ So this one is a "not for me" but I think others will enjoy it. So give it a try, especially if you're a fan of Will Smith.
